Kate Molleson presents the very latest in new music performance including the world premiere of a new piece commissioned by London Sinfonietta, Laura Bowler's Houses Slide for soprano and ensemble. With a text created by Cordelia Lynn using submissions from members of the public and directed by Katie Mitchell, Houses Slide is an industry-first as the performance recorded earlier this month at London's Royal Festival Hall is powered entirely by bicycles. Described as music that moves, that rages, and ultimately that unites us, Houses Slide describes one woman's intimate psychological journey to figure out her response to the climate crisis, from an initial depressing realisation of the gravity of the issue, through to her refusal to be overwhelmed and decision to take positive action.

Also on the programme, music commissioned for Crash Ensemble’s Reaction project as part of New Music Dublin 2021, and new releases from Tansy Davies, Carmen Baliero and Yuji Takahashi.
